In partnership with NYX Professional Makeup. To help celebrate NYX Professional Makeup’s 25th anniversary, today we’re sitting down with Global Brand President, Denée Pearson! We’re finding out why so many NYX products go viral on TikTok – and end up being a new makeup bag staple in the process. Plus, Denée predicts which NYX item we’ll all still be using 25 years from now (Hint: They are the #1 gloss brand in the US, after all.)

We’re finding out:

• Butter Girl Fall? Which three products Denée recommends to transition your makeup to fall this season.
• Why Denée insists that NYX is not a “dupes” brand, in spite of the brand’s on-trend, low-price prowess.
• The reason Denée spends so much of her time on TikTok, and what she’s learned to keep winning amongst Gen Z.
• The definition of “beauty entertainment,” and how the strategy is behind NYX’s drugstore domination. 
• What to buy from the NYX x Beetlejuice collab that launched this week – if it hasn’t sold out already!

The only question is, how will YOU wear it next?

Recording live from our LA studio, Donni spills her makeup bag to show us the *brand new* fall collection (launching today!) from her Half Magic cosmetics line, while spilling the goods on how-to wear “Euphoria-core” makeup for real life – and at any age. Plus, we get a surprise appearance from Half Magic head of product development Sam Sachs, who gives us the goods on the sustainability story behind the dopamine-driving lime packaging.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• All about the anti-shine complexion product she uses in place of cakey powders on set
• A no-smudge, no-hide cat eye technique 
• How-to wear pink and red eye makeup – without looking like you’re sick or tired
• The “elevated, understated, grown up” way of wearing face rhinestones, according to Donni

In 2020, Hyram Yarbro earned upwards of 6 million TikTok followers in just four months. His brutally honest brand reviews, skin transformation reaction videos and budget skincare recommendations earned him the title of “The Gen-Z Whisperer” by The New York Times. Two years later, and Skincare By Hyram is back to chat about the lessons he’s learned as he’s shifted from content creator to brand founder – and where the beauty influencer economy is going next.

In today’s episode you’ll find out:

• How he reflects on those “brutally honest product reviews” now.

• What he’d do differently if he were to go back and recreate his skincare line today.

• Whether some viral TikTok product recommendations are legit – or paid for.

• His real thoughts on “jelly skin.”
• What is “vabbing”? The fragrance trend you’ll wish you never heard of.
• Which budget skincare brand he believes will pop off just in time for back-to-school (hint: we never heard of it.)
• The skincare serum that he and Hailey Bieber bonded over. 
• The #1 practice he’s adopted to help survive burnout.
• Where the future of social media is going – beyond TikTok.

Plus, tune into Hyram’s podcast Justaposition, *tomorrow*, where we’ll be the featured guests! We get candid about what it’s like to work on our own podcast versus our Devil Wears Prada days working at fashion magazines, how we deal with negative reviews along with our latest favorite beauty products that may or may not include a foot foam for unsightly heel cracks (did we mention we’re getting real real?!) Don’t forget to follow, rate and review both shows!!

We’re joined by ultimate celeb-watch editor, Andrea Lavinthal, People Magazine’s longtime Style & Beauty Director. (Talk about a flex, Andrea chatted by phone with Jennifer Lopez the day before her Bennifer nuptials in Vegas!)

Listen in for our very important Housewives beauty watch commentary (Teresa Giudice’s wedding hairdo included!). And we ask: will the one former Housewives star that TikTok has dubbed the “Judge Judy” of makeup - will she get back in the beauty game? 

Andrea talks about the one celebrity skincare line she believes is actually worth the spend, along with the $500 PRP-in-a-bottle serum most coveted by the beauty editor’s discerning inner circle.

Plus, we find out the new red-carpet-ready skincare treatments that celebs are lining up for, and how the Royals like Kate Middleton look so #damngood.

Ever wonder how to find your perfect nude? LA-born, South Asian sisters Aleena, Aleezeh and Naseeha Khan struggled to find the one nude lipstick to suit their skin tones, and set about doing something about it. In 2019, the power siblings launched CTZN Cosmetics, a gender-fluid, “nudes for all” lipstick range that launched on the brink of the pandemic. Three years of mask-wearing later, and CTZN is blowing up, as seen on Lizzo, Sza and Hilary Duff. And they’re only just getting started.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear about the exact moment that CTZN Cosmetics went viral on TikTok, crashing their website and changing the young entrepreneurs’ lives forever. Plus, the Khans spill the tea on their latest baller move: signing on Beyoncés long-time makeup artist Sir John as newly appointed Chief Creative Officer and investor. Discover what comes next for the fire indie brand, along with their #1 rule for finding your own ride-or-die shade.

With 2.8 billion #PerfumeTikTok views and counting, we’re reviewing the hottest fragrances right now alongside Emma Vernon, host of The Perfume Room podcast. Emma is a comic and former matchmaker-turned-fragrance expert who’s been featured in The New York Times, New York Post and InStyle. Today, she’s bringing her encyclopedic fragrance knowledge to help assess which viral perfumes are legitimately #DamnGood – and which ones smell like burnt tires and cotton candy.

From Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s ubiquitous Baccarat Rouge 540 to Ariana Grande’s Cloud to the influencer scent that spurred a 100,000 person waitlist and the one department store scent she believes is worth the hype, Emma isn’t pulling any perfume punches. Plus, Emma reveals her fave budget-friendly find (pssst, now back in stock!), the BIPOC-owned fragrances you need on your radar and the modern bridal scent you did not see coming.

*Be sure to catch us over on Perfume Room podcast this week, where we reveal the top fragrances that beauty editors hoard, our personal holy grails, our wildest press trips ever and more of our scent diary secrets.*

Jackie Schimmel is the unfiltered host behind the podcast, The Bitch Bible –  “A podcast that dares to say what many are thinking, but only a bitch would say.” OG fans tune in for Jackie’s unapologetic rants on Bravo-lebs, pop culture, sex, millennial struggles, social faux-pas, tapeworms, hell, even bagels.  

In this week’s episode, we ask ‘What’s on a bitch’s topshelf?’ Jackie drops the surprising skincare line she swears by (hint: we’ve never heard of it,) the one makeup product she would smuggle into jail if she could, how-to deal with straw hair, plastic surgery truths, the dos and don’ts of bathroom snooping, what she’s buying for her swag new bathroom and so much more.

Ear muff alert! There’s no bleeping a bitch, so please (as Jackie would say!) buckle up for some explicit language this week.

When was the first time you realized that you need to wear SPF not just during the summer, but every damn day of the year? For elementary school teacher Holly Thaggard, it was a lightbulb moment that occurred after a close friend was struck with skin cancer in 2005, and the start of an entrepreneurial career that would lead to her lifelong dedication to suncare advocacy in schools – and the birth of Supergoop!, now a staple in many a glowy girl’s skincare routine.

In today’s episode, you’ll find out how the industry’s biggest sunscreen darling changed the game completely, introducing the idea of a “sunscreen wardrobe” that now offers over 40 different ways to apply every single day (PS - three units of Supergoop!’s iconic Unseen Sunscreen now sell every single minute). You’ll hear why turning down Sephora was the key to becoming one of their best-sellers. Plus, Holly gives us an easy-to-understand explainer on everything you want to know about sunscreen now, like:

• What’s behind the rise in combination sunscreens that combine both chemical and mineral filters
• What a PA+ rating means on a label and why it’s important
• Whether your car window is actually protecting you from UV rays
• The fastest-growing area of the body where doctors are spotting skin cancer amongst women today
• How to negotiate the vitamin D vs sunscreen debate in real life
• Why you still need to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, no matter how high the SPF factor is
• Her personal SPF layering technique – including how to reapply over makeup throughout the day

But first, Danessa explains the backstory behind her sky-rocket success, from the very personal reason why she leaned into makeup education, to the life-changing moment she became a product developer for Benefit Cosmetics, along with details on the best-selling, 130+ shade range of Danessa Myricks Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigments found in every major makeup artist’s kit.

Today’s episode is a masterclass in everything you’ve ever wanted to know about boob jobs with NYC-based, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lara Devgan. Some of *the* most premium A-list celebrities trust Dr. Devgan for her artful and exacting eye, and we’re asking her all the questions we’d want answered if we were ever considering breast enhancement ourselves. Dr. Devgan walks us through the best way to get a natural result with augmentation, like gummy-bear implants vs saline, shape, size – and how to know when it’s time for a replacement set. 

Plus, do your nipples and breasts feel the same when all is said and done? Inquiring minds wanna know! Then, we find out everything there is to know about the buzzy fat transfer augmentation procedure we’ve been hearing about, the latest in breast lifts (vampire breast lifts, vacuum breast lifts, Brazilian breast lifts) along with what to expect if you want to downsize. Why celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Michelle Visage have chosen to remove their implants, breast implant illness and how to mentally prepare yourself for surgery – it’s all in today’s must-listen episode.

Saie Beauty launched four months before the pandemic, but instead of closing up shop, it managed to slay anyway. Today, Saie founder Laney Crowell takes us back to her roots growing up in France, China and Los Angeles, before building her beauty start in the cut-throat world of fashion magazines. (She even interviewed to be Anna Wintour’s assistant – seven times!)  

Listen in as Laney reveals why even in an increasingly crowded “Clean Beauty” market, Saie was needed anyway, developing climate-neutral certified, best-in-class formulas that have won awards, gone viral on TikTok and earned a celebrity following thanks to the brand’s signature, “Saie Glow.” 

For the uninitiated, we find out why the Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 Sunscreen is so damn popular, along with scoop on the upcoming Saie Hydra Beam “concealer from the future,” that’s set to drop next. Plus, stay tuned until the end to find out why Saie’s vintage merch using upcycled clothing is hands down the coolest Earth Month initiative we’ve ever seen.

It’s a #DamnGood, spring skin care special! First, we break down Glow Recipe’s highly-anticipated, first ever sunscreen (and point out a striking similarity to a Rihanna fave.) Then, we unpack Curél’s affordable, ceramide-packed moisturizing spray that sold out within days of landing on Amazon in North America. And, are you here for the “beauty snacking” trend? (It’s not what you think!) Stay tuned to the end for our under $15 finds, including a pH-balancing drugstore cleanser and a serum-drenched sheet mask that soothed Jill’s SOS flare-up.

But first, we’ve got Earth Month news! We’re talking about the MAJOR sustainability initiative that goes beyond lip service – a group effort by industry giants that’s aiming to universally ‘score’ a beauty product’s ecological footprint, set to launch by the end of this year. Our new, zero-waste shower staples, RIP Deciem’s cult-fave Chemistry Hand Cream – it’s all in today’s buffet episode of everything you need to know in beauty this month.

Clayton Hawkins is the wig-wearing, vintage hot tool-collecting hairstylist to Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron and Emily in Paris’ Ashley Park. Today, we’re diving deep into his tickle trunk, as Clayton decodes the hottest hair trends of 2022, so far. The “shullett,” bottleneck bangs, Y2K baby braids – we’re covering it all, honey. We find out the exact products in the Hollywood hairstylist’s hair kit, from the essential brushes to the $6 dry shampoo and the hot tools – 70s, 90s and new – that he thinks are definitely worth the investment. 

But first, we discuss the recent Olaplex headlines that prompted some TikTok users to start binning their hair holy grails. Do they really cause infertility? Jill’s not throwing away her bottle yet, guys! We reached out to the brand for their official statement. (To understand the science behind the study that led to banning of the ingredient in the EU and why testing on rats is different from testing on humans, we recommend watching Dr. Michelle Wong aka @labmuffinbeautyscience's breakdown of this topic.)

Between her unmistakable Massachusetts accent and her next-level looks, TikTok makeup artist Mikayla Nogueira has earned 10.4 million followers in just 2 years. In today’s episode, Mikayla reflects on her epic metamorphosis, from apprenticing as a special FX makeup artist at her father’s haunted house, to her very first viral TikTok video where, scarred from bullies, she hid her iconic accent before learning to embrace her true self. 

And since Mikayla is the powerful makeup artist single-handedly making all of those beauty products go viral on TikTok, we find out which Holy Grail items she uses everyday, from her fave indie eyeshadows to her ride-or-die mascara and the front-running longwear foundation she’s testing for her upcoming wedding. Plus, we discover which #1 product turned around her cystic/hormonal acne forever, and we hear about the over-hyped complexion product that failed the Mikayla test. 

BONUS: For the first time ever, we have exclusive content available only on TikTok! Follow us on TikTok for a hilarious beauty vocabulary lesson with Mikayla!

Yellowjackets is giving us total beauty nostalgia, and all we wanna do is stay under the covers while the weather out there is fridg-id. But the dog still has to be walked, so while we’re out here in subzero temperatures we’re asking: Is there a difference between barrier creams and barrier repair creams?? (Carlene’s convinced they’re two different things, hear her out!) 

Plus, we’re giving you our first-hand reviews of our #damngood barrier cream faves, with options for all skin types. From tried and true barrier-protecting balms – some that have literally been getting the job done for more than a century –  to newbie faves that include an SPF and a wind-blocking balm in one, you’re not going to want to hit the slopes or the sidewalks without listening to this episode first.

Here’s looking at you, 2022! In this episode, we’re dissecting some of the biggest trends, products and ideas that we predict will be everywhere this year - with some help from Allure’s Editor-in-Chief Jessica Cruel. Tune in to hear about the biggest beauty trends that are set to pop off, like dopamine-boosting levels of bright eye makeup and lip-lifting liner hacks that just might put an end to the filler phase. 

Plus, we tackle once taboo topics going mainstream – like embracing baldness and the rise of luxury vagina care. Why the phrase “biodegradable beauty” is no longer allowed on Allure.com, where the Pull Up For Change movement is today and, can an international beauty brand really “cancel” social media (PR play or a legit mental health power move)? We’re breaking it all down! 

Finally, stay tuned to the end to hear Jessica’s *personal* topshelf skincare, makeup and haircare picks that will be getting her through this year and beyond!
